The Sonic Youth of Today, Not So Popular

asked my friends what their current favourite songs were.  Considering my mates have an extensive and diverse taste in music collectively, I was expecting some pretty ridiculous answers.  Those ridiculous answers, I got.

Tristan- “The Rain Song” by Led Zepplin

Zak- “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by TwistedSister

John- “Aenima” by Tool

Justin- “Thanks For Nothing” by The Downtown Fiction

Sumer- “Road To Joy” by Bright Eyes

Olivia- “So Many People” by Neurosonic

Layna- "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen

Justine- "Carry On" by fun.

Helen- "I'm Shakin'" by Jack White

It seems a trend that now songs that are older are coming back into style.  I was pleased to not get any songs by Justin Bieber.  None of these songs are on the top of the charts, so who is it exactly who determines what's popular and number 1?  It seems as though the people I associate with are still exploring the music that we were raised on, and we stray from the path.  I'm really puzzled with how mainstream music today is so bad, and all of these songs are relatively decent, and significantly better than any One Direction crap.

Whoever determines what's popular has no idea what they're talking about.
